In Akron (44312), investors own about 467 tracked properties across 35 active buyers, with a median investor purchase price near $298,000. 121 were acquired in the last 12 months.
44312 has 35 active cash buyers holding roughly 467 properties. Over the last 12 months they averaged about 3.5 purchases each, which points to a market worked by repeat, high-volume operators rather than one-off purchasers — expect a smaller set of names to account for most of the deal flow.
Acquisition pace is accelerating. Investors bought 121 properties in the last 12 months against roughly 87 the year before — up about 39%. Competition for contracts is rising, and buyers who were quiet a year ago are active again.
The median investor purchase lands near $298,000. The average of $295,000 is close behind it, so purchases cluster in a fairly tight band rather than splitting into distinct price tiers.
The dominant play is buy & hold, at 44.6% of tracked activity. Buy-and-hold capital prices for yield rather than resale margin, so rent support matters more to these buyers than after-repair comps.
The median investor-owned home was built around 2022. Only about 13.1% predates 1980, so the stock skews newer and rehab scopes tend to be lighter.
